Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Model 71

Well it is not in collector condition with the D&T for a side mount, added checkering and the stock cut for a recoil pad but I like it! I put in a bid with what I was willing to pay and lo-and-behold no one else bid on it so it was now mine. First order of business will be to change out the pad for a nice Winchester red and shoot the heck out of it once I gather the loading components. I am also thinking about putting one of Turnbull’s red dot mounts on it and mounting a Trijicon on it. I have had a Browning copy and an original 71 in the past and do remember they do kick a little from the bench after 5 or 6 shots. Might look into a mercury recoil reducer or Magnaport. It is hell getting old!
